A Folk School is cooperative community of people who all have something to teach and something to learn. Folk Schools are nontraditional schools meant to enrich people's lives. We know, no matter someone's educational background, that we all can share, grow, love, and teach others about something we know, whether it be about our culture or how to quilt.
